Taking off my intake manifold

[Nibbib]

Hi there I'm in the middle of taking of my intake manifold I think I have everything unbolted and unplug but I'm still having resistance lol.

I don't need to have the manifold completely out of the car just enough so I can fix my broken hoses..

Any advice would help

[Nibbib]

And I found out that the two nipples for the throttal body aren't even there... Can someone tell me where they tie into or go so I can get the right hoses and install

Those are probably for the coolant. Many people bypass it to keep intake temps cooler. There's no reason to put it back. Mine are capped off too.

Make sure you IAC's water lines are disconnected. There's gonna be a decent amount of resistance from the old gaskets.

Hmm I didn't know that the iac had water lines.

And I can fully move the manifold but can only lift it up maybe 1/2" or 3/4" if I really pull

The wiring harness has plugs going to the two temperature senders on the crossover pipe, as well as one going to the oil pressure sensor right under the alternator. You.sure they are all unplugged?

[Nibbib]

I didn't get those ones and I'm not sure I'll be able to with my big ass hands...

[Nibbib]

Thanks for the help got it off it's still a pain in the ass with the turbo and power steering pp still on lol

[Nibbib]

Just wondering what would be easier to do with installing the PVC hoses before I put the manifold back in or after

[alexandermf]

Definately be easier to replace without mani on but possible to do with it on as well

yeah i was thinking that but don't some of the hoses have to go through the manifold?

[alexandermf]

Nothing you can't reroute to your liking...

It will still be easier to assemble everything without the manifold.
